Is this really fixed?  Even using 2.1-beta-1 I still get:

Error assembling WAR: webxml attribute is required (or pre-existing 
WEB-INF/web.xml if executing in update mode)

Is another parmameter needed to turn off "update mode?"  I am creating a 
partial WAR that will be exploded and merged with an existing WAR directory on 
a Tomcat  "appliance." I don't want to take any chance of overwriting the 
Web.xml file of the target dir.  I want to skip the manifest too, but didn't 
see any options to do that.

>
> I have a small webapp with a small number of jsps, to overlay on a larger 
> webapp.
> The larger webapp already has a web.xml and the small one doesn't need one.
> I can't build a war of the small webapp, because the war-plugin requires a 
> web.xml.
> I realise that a war-file without a web.xml might not be considered a comple 
> war-file, and i only need it to unzip on top of the larger webapp.
> Maybe packaging the small webapp in a zip would be better?
